Flames : Legend Of The Phoenix Book One

Windows

The Avengers came along to come pick Bucky up to go back to the Stark Tower. His mates asked him how or why he was at the Avengers facility. He wouldn't  speak of what happened and it worried Steve. The ride was long a weary and it felt like hours as no one even made a sound.

"Bucky." Steve called out

Everyone turned to look at him

"Buck please tell us what happened , how did you end up at the Avengers facility."

"Because that girl saved my life , are you happy now!"

They exchanged confused looks with each other

"How did she save you."Clint questioned

Bucky remained silent , an Tony got angry and confused at the same time

"Hey how did she save you Starbucks."

"She jumped off the helecarrier and i slipped and fell too, she caught me and when i opened my eyes i was on the avengers facility."

Questionable whispers filled the quinjet as the land on the Stark Tower. Bucky is the last one out and the first to enter his room. He lay down and decided he would take a nap.His hydra past always made him paranoid and insomniac . He walked to the bathroom so he could wash his faces. He observed his face in the mirror, observing his battered face and it made him quite livid to think about his friends being against him.
He went to get his phone from the edge of his bed and saw a silhouette of a person on his veranda. He slowly switches on the light and pulls the
Curtains.  He moves closer with his metal arm in front in case he has to to attack. The figure turned around.

"Nice to see you again. "
"Velvet. "
Bucky was relieved to see it was only a friend.
"James. "
She turned around for the first time and this time her eyes were already green and it glowed in the glistening moonlight and it made Bucky nervous.

She walked towards him and looked over his shoulder to see his illuminated room.

"You don't  sleep a lot do you. "

Bucky rubbed is tired eyes and then panicked to see the camera surveying the tower. He quickly pulls her into the room. However he trips and she falls on top of him.  She chuckles and helps him up.

"So what are you doing here. "
"I came to visit you. "
"Me.? "
" To see how you were doing. "
"But I thought you hated the Avengers. "
"You are a good friend no matter if you were once an enemy. "
"OK so.. "
"I was wondering if you would accompany me to the coffee shop if you're not going to sleep that is. "

Bucky nods as he yawned. His tired eyes scanned her outfit.

"You can't go out like this. "
"What is wrong with my choice of clothing. "
"It would attract unwanted attention. "

He turns to his closet and examines its content. He pulls out a hoodie and throws it over her head. He looks again dissatisfied with the bottom half. He grabs a pair of sweatpants that black widow left when they threw an impromptu slumber party. He gave it to her. He looked at her boots. He gave her some flip flops and put her boots in the closet making sure to lock it.

"Is this how humans dress. "
"Humans.? "
" I'm not from earth that all I'm going to say. "
"Well then to answer your question yes but not all the time. "

Velvet grabbed a coat for Bucky to wear and gestured him to turn around so she will put it on him. He blushed so much that she started to blush as well. She looked at him and his heart began to beat faster. He blushed again. She blushed as well. This time he was close enough to see the freckles on her face and as a pink hue spread across them. She backed away gesturing him to follow. He was freighted by her dog who was eagerly waging its white tail. She laughed and started to climb down the rope she set up there.

"I figured you didn't like jumping. "

He smiled warmly remembering the time he fell from the sky. When the finally got down all that was there was her motor bike. She followed along Bucky to the nearest coffee shop. When they enter,  he decided they should sit in a booth. The place was quite silent. All that could be heard we're cups. The waitress addressed them.

"Hello what can I get for you. "
Bucky opened his mouth to speak but later closed it when Velvet started ordering.

"I would like the frappe and he would like black tea no sugar no milk. "

"I'll get that right away. "

Bucky was confused on how Velvet knew that,  that was what he wanted. He asked. She said she had a feeling. It must have been a really strong feelings. The waitress brought their orders and the check. Before Bucky could even look at the bill Velvet's credit card was in it.

"Where did you get the money for a credit card. "

"It is a long story but I promise I didn't steal it. "

"I have time for long stories it's only 11."

"OK from where I come from... "

"Where do you come from. "

"That's confidential information. "

"OK OK jess continue. "

"It has a lot of diamonds and they are worth nothing there. So as I came to earth I wanted to change currency and they valued it so I ended up with 90 billion of what you call dollars. "

" 90 billion dollars that's  a lot. "

They talked for 5 solid hours. Velvet picked up what looked like a Samsung galaxy s8+ to check the time. It was 4:30.

"Oh my goodness you have to go. "

"Yeah but you have to come for your boots. "

"Right. "

Bucky ran back to the tower and ran back with her boots.

"Omg your sweater. "

"You can keep it looks good on you. "

She avoided eye-contact so she wouldn't blush as she wore her boots
They went to where she parked her motorcycle. Her dog was already sitting on it ready to go. She turned and pulled Bucky into a hug. He reluctantly wrapped his arms around her. She smiled as they pulled apart. She then for a second mean d closer again to kiss his cheek. He blushed violently. She waved as she rode of into the sun rise. Bucky remained there, smiling
